Review of Heinlein's The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones by Robert A. Heinlein

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I read this a long time ago, as an adult, and recently rediscovered it in audio book form. I really enjoyed it.

The story is about a family traveling in space in their own rocket. Everyone in the family is a genius, and if this was ever made into a movie it would be terrific family entertainment, and very educational as well. If nothing else the audience would learn about ballistics. Heinlein takes pains to get the details right, and for the most part he succeeds.

Humor, breathless adventure, and memorable characters make this one a winner. Some of it is dated, as you would expect, but the story holds up in spite of that.
